Matthew:

Thanks for the speedy response. This is a good change, although
it doesn't completely address my concern.

It seems that the site is giving conflicting advice: In the note
above, you say you want to keep the BT links low key, yet the
Feisty Fawn news page (http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta)
says to use BT if possible.

I don't feel strongly either way. My original note was simply a
suggestion for placing a link to the .torrent file right next to
the .iso links in the main text of this page
(http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/) so that people might try the
BT link instead of downloading the full .iso from your server.
